For the most part of my life, I have lived in a small town in northern Arizona. As I got older, it seemed as if my town got smaller.
All things I could see in the town were bad. It looked ugly, small and was filled with terrible people. I wanted to be in new places with bigger chances and to meet new people. That was exactly what I did. I moved to the city of Phoenix to go to college and worked hard to achieve what I had dreamed of.
For the first year when I was away from home, I wanted to stay away and never go back. When people were taking a trip to my hometown, I would always question “Why would you like to do that? It’s so ugly.” All I had towards my hometown was negative feelings.
However, after being away for about three years, my perspective has completely changed. I have nothing but love for my hometown — its beauty, and the sentimental value (感情价值) that it holds.
After all, it’s where I’m from. Yes, there are bad things, but there are also some good ones: Dad raced the train on the way to school; Mum let us stop for ice cream every Friday after school to celebrate the end of the week; I walked around downtown with friends in high school, thinking we were cool.
It might take being away from something for you to truly appreciate it. It’s true when people say that distance makes the heart grow fonder(温柔的）. Now I visit my hometown every chance I get. Even if I am no longer living there, it will always hold a piece of my heart.
1.The writer probably thought his hometown was________from the first three paragraphs.
A.an attractive place for tourists B.filled with friendly people
C.the best place to live in D.a hateful place
2.What does the underlined word “perspective” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Dream. B.Opinion. C.Imagination. D.Habit
3.What’s Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.How the writer missed his parents.
B.The writer’s sweet memories of his hometown.
C.Unhappy things that happened in the writer’s hometown.
D.Why the writer lost touch with his friends.
4.What does the last paragraph show?
A.People shouldn’t love their hometown for long.
B.People should leave their hometown.
C.The writer starts loving and valuing his hometown.
D.The writer won’t go back to his hometown.
